I already had a chit-ton of toilet paper (there was a sale awhile back?). To aid in preparation I did just put a 3x bigger cam in my internet connection. Entirely online. Didn't get any grease beneath fingernails. Took 5 minutes. Holy megabits Batman. That's $10 a month I should have spent a long time ago!! :bananarock:But you just voided your warranty by using your own router instead of the one provided by your ISP.

Ok. If you are pissed off at me now, please feel free to TP my house.

Figure by now I have pissed off a lot of people on this forum. If I have not pissed them off yet
Or like they do to me they just scan past your chit.

I do that for some folks here. Stereotyping some people saves a lot of time, and some are not worth the time it takes to read their chit.
Speaking of chit.....

Whoa that's an unexpected conspiracy.
Certain companies are dong very well in this shortage frenzy. Also today Walmart was all out of wieners, a local tragedy.
Another also - If you would like to TP my house I will help. So far my neighbor's kids refuse to TP no matter what I yell at them from my rocker on the porch. My current guess is that is what their Mom's are making for supper - TP Soup.

Poop in the shower & then stomp it down the drain...Hopefully you have a flexible shower head long enough to get the underside..
That sounds like a lot of trouble. A lot of hassle. It's raining here. Probably all week. If it gets that bad will just go outside in the stream that runs by the house. I don't like the people that live downstream anyway.

My solution to this one: I'm hiring a kid to scoop up all the crap in my yard. Bet he will be surprised when he finds out we do not have a dog.

I'm planning to borrow your idea, but with a "slight" modification. I've got a neighbor with dogs who rarely picks up the droppings. I'll just throw mine over the fence. Short of doing a DNA analysis, he won't be able to prove a thing.

Great idea. Used to have neighbors like that along time ago. They would never notice a few extra dozen piles of chit in their yard, your neighbor won't either.

The place was not overly busy but the grocery section was well picked over. Lots of empty shelf space. Best guess approx 50% unstocked shelf space. That's a lot of untapped revenue space from their perspective so you know they're behind getting inventory.
You could listen to people whining about not being able to find something or other. But there was fresh produce, some meat, frozen and canned products to grab. Everyone in the store could have grabbed to feed a couple for 10 days or more. But still people were truly freaking out; and this in a town and area with no confirmed cases and the nearest identified case of the bug about a hundred miles away.
Saw a mid-twenty-something woman in tears about not finding something even though she had a large shopping cart mostly full of different foods. The hot deli had plenty of whole chickens for less than $5, some cold fried for $4, and sundry other offerings. Of course there was no toilet paper for sale (have no idea if there was any for use in the Wal-Mart restrooms). All this and people were still angry, frightened, in tears, or just choosing to be less than content.
I got my prescription. I grabbed a few groceries while I was there. Could eat for 10 days on what I hauled out. Spent less than a hundred bucks and I'm nibbling on some grapes right now (just a few, damned sugars). Anyone could have done that, yet people were still angry, frightened, in tears, or just choosing to be less than content. God what a bunch of wankers we've become.

I like Uncle Mikey's idea of a spritzer hose though. Use that once or twice in an effective manner and the gawdammed cat won't think it's ok to jump on your lap while you're trying to read on the crapper anymore :drink: !

In these bug infested swampy hinterlands we are still using kite string and tin cans as the delivery system for our internet. Our local county, in it's infinite wisdom limited cable internet to only one provider back in 1824. It was a very large bribe that secured the contract and it gave them 200 years 100% exclusive rights to all high speed internet. The county officials got paid off big time & citizens do not dare complain because of the Dungeon Clause. The cable company used a hodge podge of old twine, baling wire, & electrical connectors that Ben Franklin had left over in his garage. I think the brains for the entire system is a rewired accordion & a cowbell. Other internet provider companies (not the Favored One) were forced to use the telephone lines that Alexander Graham Bell personally installed in 1885 using a pair of wire cutters & a mule named Old Pokey. We got rid of the hand crank phones a couple of years ago & Stella our operator does a great job connecting our calls unless she is napping.
Last year the county awarded an additional cable internet contract to some newfangled outfit that says they will be using high fiber metamucil brand cables. Not sure what the bribe for that contract was, am guessing at least twice what the old bribe was. chit gonna flow fast on those suckers we have been told. We expect that sometime in 2087 our neighborhood will receive this new service.

So with all the "social distancing" we are supposed to adhere to, how the heck am I supposed to get a haircut? I cannot wait until July or August as they say we may have to wait. It is already touching my ears! My dad would dis-own me if he saw me!

Have you ever watched NCIS on TV? If so, just take the same approach used by Gibbs. Put a bowl on your head, then buzz off everything the bowl doesn't cover. I believe they used to call that style "white sidewalls". :nixweiss: I bought a small battery operated trimmer some time back for a different reason (removing body hair before going for medical testing or procedures), and I'm considering trying to trim what's left on my head with it. If there is a God, he has a very cruel sense of humor. As I got older the hair on my head got thinner and thinner, but the hair on the rest of my body started growing like a weed.
